Ah - Comptonia! I'm patting myself on the back for recognizing it before scrolling down to your label. Those sweet, ferny leaves are distinctive!

I was happy to find this spot - there was so much Comptonia I didn't hesitate to cut a piece. The smell was heavenly :)
DeleteAh, the eponymous plant. So nice to meet her in person. I don't think I've ever seen it.
ReplyDeleteThat has a certain beauty to it. Don't you just love mother nature!!
